Massdriver Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Quote U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who leads his party as Senate minority leader, filed a far-reaching marijuana bill on Wednesday. Titled the Marijuana Freedom and Opportunity Act, the bill would remove cannabis from the Controlled Substances Act. The legislation, which is cosponsored by Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Tim Kaine (D-VA) and Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), would also set aside $20 million annually to states and municipalities for the purpose of administering, expanding or developing expungement or sealing programs for marijuana possession convictions. No less than half of the funds would be earmarked for public defenders and legal aid providers. Another provision, according to its section title, would “level the economic playing field” in the cannabis industry by requiring the Treasury Department to annually transfer an amount equal to 10% of total tax revenue generated by marijuana or $10 million, whichever is greater, to an account called the Marijuana Opportunity Trust Fund. Grants would be doled out by the Small Business Administration to industry outfits controlled by women and socially and economically disadvantaged people. https://www.marijuanamoment.net/top-senate-dem-introduces-marijuana-freedom-and-opportunity-act/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's just too much support and it seems to energize their base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just the right mix of counter-culture and unthreatening honkey for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think in the next few years as more and more of their old establishment white dems get knocked off it is going to get interesting around here.
